"In 2002, Barry Bonds' midseason shift to the cleanup spot triggered the Giants' World Series run, but now Manager Felipe Alou has other ideas.

On Thursday, two weeks before pitchers and catchers report to spring training, Alou said his tentative lineup calls for Bonds to return to No. 3 in the batting order, flanked by J.T. Snow or A.J. Pierzynski at No. 2 and Edgardo Alfonzo at No. 4."

I don't think Snow willl cut it in the #2 hole. With AJ ahead of Bonds, expect him to see more fastballs -- thus more hits. He'll also see a large number of runs hitting ahead of Bonds. Get used to seeing him on second and Bonds at first.
